THE MASTER EXPLAINS :
"Everyone is subject to rhythms in their lives. Everyone goes through high periods when an inflow of blessedness brings you all the things you have every wanted and you are on a peak of human happiness and success. You rejoice! Then comes the time when suddenly the rhythm of life changes, resources dry up, relationships become difficult and precarious, your career takes a downward turn, or obstacles occur which keep you static for a long time. You may ask yourself what you have done wrong. Previously you worked very successfully within the LAWS of EXISTENCE but now there are daily challenges and nothing you think or do is truly alleviating the stress of your daily life.
When - if - these times come upon you - be still and quiet within your
heart and mind - and know that you are still drawing life and direction
from Divine Consciousness, despite appearances to the contrary, despite
the superficial agonies. At these times it is essential to withdraw and
take stock of the ways in which you may have slipped in consciousness
during your "up" times - and strengthen your dependence on Divine
Consciousness.
Without these dark periods of depression, you would not grow in spiritual stature. They have a special message for you so do not give way to despair or bitterness. Although you may feel fragile, this is your winter season of self-discovery and inner renewal which will ultimately prove to be of greater blessing than ever were your "peak periods". Take heart and do not lose faith. Hold on patiently until winter gradually yields to your spiritual spring again.
Persevere in relaxing and confidently waiting for the time when Divine Life will again flow into your mind, heart and earthly life and all you had hoped for will begin to manifest in your experience. And throughout this time, realise and hold on to the fact that if you are no longer aware of the inflow of Divine Consciousness during your meditations, it is not because you have been abandoned but because your own cosmic - and therefore your personal consciousness vibrations - are at a low ebb and you are no longer able to rise to experience the vibrations of Divine Consciousness as you did previously. Although you may not feel them, rest assured that always you are enfolded in them and in DIVINE LOVE."
